TIVERTON — Chad Bergeron, who has shuttled in and out of the Adult Correctional Institutions all year on a variety of domestic violence charges, is back behind bars again, police said.

Bergeron, 38, of 126 Hooper St., was ordered held without bail Tuesday, charged with a third count of violating a no-contact order and also with two violations of the terms of bail on earlier alleged violations of no-contact orders.

Police alleged a former relative complained on Aug. 25 that Bergeron called her, violating no-contact orders put in place as part of earlier complaints.

Court records show that Bergeron has been in court and ordered held without bail on violations of bail or on new charges three earlier times this year. He spent a month in the ACI beginning on Jan. 21 and another month beginning on April 11. He had just been released from a prison stay that began on Aug. 7 when the complaint was filed again, police report.

A warrant was issued for his arrest. He was spotted on Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. on Mill Street near the state line, police report.

When police tried to stop the car he was riding in, Bergeron jumped out and ran into the woods, police allege. He was spotted and captured 15 minutes later in the woods off Mill Street, police report.

Bergeron is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 9 for a status conference. The attorney general will review the case to determine how it will proceed.
